2022-11-17T12:48:23.8+00:00 Hi @Vincent Li ,
memory is not your disk, it's your RAM.I'm also looking for a possibility to see the VM's disk usage. I'm wondering why such an important information is not shown in Metrics.

2022-08-11T03:35:17.747+00:00 Hi VincentLi,
From my experience the best way to monitor all resources is to enable logging to Azure Monitor.
Once you’ve enabled logging all the health stats you can ever want will be available via kql queries.
Good luck!Reference:

2022-08-11T04:16:18.913+00:00 I tried the "Virtual Machine free disk space" query and it shows "No results found from the last 24 hours". What does that mean? Why does the free disk space have something to do with time range?
I don't understand why Microsoft makes such basic information so complicated.

2022-08-11T03:43:12.087+00:00 In VM Diagnostics settings, if you enable guest monitoring, you can find the disk space consumption details easilty.
More details are available here: azure-vm-extended-metrics----------

2022-08-11T04:07:41.503+00:00 From there, I find the "Memory available, Sum" is around 600 GiB, but I only have 3 disks attached to the VM, each 30GiB
. So what does that mean?
